Re: Mullah nazeer killed?
Even if it is true (which it is…no mention of the 2 others who were killed in the same strike, likely his family members) what difference would it make to a rag tag geurilla group, which has no unified command, and works under localized commands? Initially it was said that if Mullah Umar or Usama bin laden is taken out, Alqaeda will be gone. Both have been out of the picture for a very long time. Usama is even dead now, yet the group still thrives.
Not in a million years can they change the ideological mindset of a group of guerilla fighters by using military force. These days, the fight is just about getting terrorism out of your country, and transferring it to another. As reported in NY times the other day, the mountains of Mali are the new breeding ground for terrorists.
America is going to be out of Afghanistan soon. But they will leave behind a legacy as bad as that of the Soviets.
